Over the years plants and people have become very dependent on each other. People need the plants to eat and live their daily lives and plants need humans to be fertilized. Agriculture today is not simple planting and watering but all these experiments and tests. Today plant's nutritional needs are being applied by using chemicals. Now seeds are sold with a coating of fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide. Characteristics of plants are now manipulated for the consumers preference. People do this even though it threatens ecological agriculture and genetic differences. Luckily, we have companies that want to protect all the varieties of plants and agriculture.
